aL WE DO homage to Your Honor, One of ours now at last, And we joyfully forgive you All shortcomings of the past, For your realms we have invaded And we surely came to stay. You have found the modern woman, And you help to blaze her way. An June, old chap, we always felt it— You were bound to change your mind, For the wide-awake and clever Can no longer lag behind. We had many serious workers In our just and noble strife But we lacked what you can give us— Ready wit, the spice of life. SHE WON'T BE HAPPY UNTIL SHE GETS IT. Why Should Women Vote? Jupce has received hundreds of clever replies to the contest now running in its columns, There is no question in His Honor’s mind but what their publication would make further activity on the part of the champions of the cause unneces- sary, the burden of evidence is so over- whelmingly with the defendants. Take the answer, ‘‘To keep them quiet,” for instance. It appears forty-seven times, and grows more convincing on repeti- tion. ‘‘For the safety of our windows’’ is another oft-repeated clincher, while the little but mighty word ‘Because,”’ accompanied by nine pairs of ditto marks, completes a large number of sets of ten reasons. It is a noteworthy fact that nine-tenths of the replies are sub- mitted by men—mere men. _ This proves— What in creation does it prove? His Honor pauses for reply, also because space on this page is so limited. Try for the $10,000 prize, readers (ten dollars in cash and the rest in glory and service to the cause). Get your friends to help you, and, between you all, see if you cannot spring some- thing new and original. Miss Sarah Barnwell Elliott.
